Universe Created from 'Nothing' as a Broken Symmetry Theory of Gravity

摘要

The probability for the universe to have been created from 'nothing' in a state with Euclidean action Ssub(E) is known to be P=A exp(-chemically bondSsub(E)chemically bond). Starting from a broken symmetry theory of gravity, with Lagrangian density L=(1/2)epsilonphi sup 2 R+(1/2)phisub(;k)phisup(;k)-V(phi)+ beta R sup 2 ln(R/ mu sup 2 ), we construct a quasi-de-Sitter space-time which corresponds to the most likely configuration, with Ssub(E)=0, and whose vacuum energy density is within the limits set by observations of the anisotropy of the cosmological microwave background radiation.
